This vacant site, now owned by the City, was once home to the Powelson Institute — a business, accountancy, vocational, and secretarial school founded by John A. Powelson, a Harvard-educated CPA, in the early 20th century. (In later years it was absorbed into Bryant & Stratton College.) The building was demolished in 2004, leaving behind a vacant city-owned lot. In 2020 the site was envisioned as a heritage and public education site known as “Heritage Park.”
